Let's talk about shopping for your best friends. As women, it isn't always easy to find the perfect gifts for your best friend. In this post, I'm going to give you tips for shopping for your best friend, as well as 10 Girly Gifts for your Best Friend. Maybe these gift ideas will make a little shopping a lot easier.

It sounds easy enough right? Shopping for your best friend should be a piece of cake, but it's not. Why is it difficult? Because you know her too well and you probably have a list of 20 things that you're dying to get her! So how do you commit to the perfect gift for your best friend? Don't worry, I've got you covered, girl! I've been shopping for my best friends for years so I've got quite the formula for finding the perfect gift for your bff. These are my tips for shopping for your bestie.

Tips for shopping for your bestie

1. Make notes of what she likes but doesn't buy herself when you're shopping together.

When I'm shopping with my bestie, I always keep a mental note of what she's into. The truth is that we are women – we change our minds like we change our nail color. One minute we love something and the next minute. We're over it! So that's why you need to think of your latest shopping trip with your bff. What did she want to look at? What did she think was “so cute”? Did she “can't even” something in particular? If so, pick it up for her! She'll be surprised you paid attention and excited to get something she actually wants.

2. Think about your inside jokes.

hat kind of inside jokes do you and your bestie have? Are you taco Tuesday queens?Did something super embarrassing happen that only the two of you know about? Get her something to commemorate that! If the two of your are Starbucks queens, get her a Starbucks mug from her favorite city. If her pants split at a party one night, buy her some granny panties just in case it happens again, but also throw in a gift card to her favorite clothing store. Is she always taking naps? Make her an energy basket complete with energy drinks, coffee beans, and a Netflix gift card because we all know a good Netflix Original will keep you up all night! It's clever, it's silly, it's fun, and it's personal. She'll love knowing that you really took the time to think about her.

3. Get her a personalized gift.

Every woman loves a personalized gift. If you want to give your bestie a gift that she will hold onto forever, then something personalized is the way to go. You can personalize gifts with her favorite color combination, a nice monogram, her birthstone, or even her kids' names. The options are really endless with this. You know your friend better than anyone else, so take advantage of that.

4. Think of her hobbies.

It's always important to choose a gift with the recipient in mind. Don't choose something you would like, choose something she would like. Chances are, since she's your best friend, you're probably into the same things. However, think of her hobbies. Does she play sports? Is she crafty? Maybe she's really into fitness. Hook her up with a gif that she will actually use. A hobby is something you enjoy doing in your free time, so anything related to that is something she will love.

5. Give her an experience

One of my all-time favorite gifts to get from friends is an experience. When I was growing up my mother always offered for my brother and I to either receive a gift or to go to an amusement park. We always chose an amusement park because experiences are what we always remember. Give your bestie a memory to make. An experience does not mean a vacation (although that would be pretty awesome). You can give her a massage gift card, tickets to a broadway show, take her to a really fun restaurant. Make new memories with her or give her a date night away from the kids. Maybe you can babysit? Think about it. You'll thank me later and she'll thank you later.
